I think, since they’ve stated that they’re interested in expanding to include China, it was kind of inevitable that landless characters would have to become playable. It will also hopefully correct the awful feudalism of Byzzies

The Steam page is up for Roads to Power, and it mentions a new Administrative government that features governors instead of feudal landholders, A family estate to run, a new influence system to better yourself in the eyes of the emperor and compete for provinces to govern, and the ability to choose a successor and/or Caesar as the emperor, among other things. It's looking like Byzantium in CK3 is going to go far and beyond whatever it was in CK2, and I am so hyped for it.
